Question

Hilary measured the depth of the snow in her front yard for 7 days. An equation for Hilary's data is y = − 0.5 x + 8 . Let x represent the number of days, and y represent the depth of the snow in inches.

Answer 1

4.5 inches

Explanation:

Given:

y = -0.5x + 8

Where,

x = the number of days

y = the depth of the snow in inches

Find y when x = 7

y = -0.5x + 8

= -0.5(7) + 8

= -3.5 + 8

= 4.5

y = 4.5 inches

The depth of the snow in Hillary's front yard for 7 days is 4.5 inches
